The moods

Hi everyone! Our journey is approaching..yeah!
The mood is good, maybe a bit tension.
On the way will be like a lot of fun things to do.
I look forward to  in particular by new experiences.
I've always wanted to travel to Germany and finally I get there. :)

Just a test. Or is it?

It is I, Mighty Mikko. And I'm a bit late with my documented feelings. Might as well do it now. I'm extremely excited. I just can't wait (even though I have to) for the trip and meeting all the Germans and my host and his family. It'll be just fantastic. Actually, I could just spend dozens of lines to say the same thing in different ways (there are most likely plenty of them), but I'll just stop it here.

Pre-trip feelings, part 1

Here is our group together.

41 days to go. 

Some of us are getting a bit anxious, but not too much. The trip will be a whole new experience for us, as we have never been abroad without our parents before. Our skills in English and German are also put to the test, as our hosts don't know a word of Finnish - although we intend on teaching them some!

We wonder if we can express ourselves in a way that is understandable. We know some common phrases in German, but conversation feels a bit stiff and unsure. It is also slow to develop the sentences needed for basic interaction. "Entschuldigung, ich verstehe nicht!" can be an useful phrase on the trip.

With love from Finland
